OCTOBER (Ekim,
eh-KEEM)
The
month begins with very good weather,
but the autumn rains usually
begin sometime in mid- or late October. (In
2009 in most of Turkey they held
off until the very end of the month.
Then it rained for days.)
There
may also be freak snowstorms in Central
Anatolia, but overall this is
not too bad a month to travel in
Turkey.
The International
Istanbul Biennale art
exhibitions begin in mid-September
and last through October into November in 2011in Istanbul.
Republic
Day (Cumhuriyet Bayrami,
October 29), is
Turkey's most
important patriotic national holiday,
commemorating the proclamation
of the Turkish
Republic by Atatürk in
1923. Lots of parades and speeches. There's
a half-day holiday on October
28 in anticipation.
